Michigan expanding access to COVID-19 Vaccine starting Monday

To help reach the state’s goal of vaccinating 70% of Michiganders over age 16 and bring a quicker end to the COVID-19 pandemic in Michigan, Gov. Whitmer and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday that the state is expanding vaccination eligibility beginning Monday, March 8. This change follows the announcement by President Biden that ramped-up production will provide enough doses for 300 million Americans by the end May. 

 

Starting March 8, MDHHS is moving forward with the vaccination of Michiganders age 50 and older with medical conditions or disabilities and caregiver family members and guardians who care for children with special health care needs. Beginning Monday, March 22, vaccine eligibility will again expand to include all Michiganders 50 and older. To date, more than 40% of Michiganders age 65 and older have been vaccinated.

 

It is important to note that, while supplies are increasing, there remains a limited amount of vaccine available, so there may be a waitlist for available appointments. As more vaccine becomes available, the state will continue to move more quickly through the priority groups.
